Chelsea have confirmed the signing of attacking midfielder
Nathan from Atletico Paranaense.

The 19-year-old is to join the Premier League champions on July
1 after passing a medical and agreeing personal terms.

Nathan has represented Brazil and Under-17 and Under-20 level
during his career and netted five goals in as many games at the
Under-17 World Cup, where he was named as the player of the
tournament.

Chelsea were reported to have been in talks with Nathan since
last month, with the youngster revealing the transfer on social
media earlier in the week.

And, after the move was officially confirmed, he told Chelsea's
official website: "I am very happy to be joining Chelsea, the
champions of England, and I hope I will be able to learn a lot and
develop my game."
